The Fett Legacy

CHAPTER 9

I quickly changed into my new armor and set my old one down. Wow, twenty years of wearing it really roughed it up.

I left it lying there, grabbed my old helmet, and ran out of the small compartment.

"Rosemary?" I called, looking around. I found her by the same crate from when I first met her. I sat beside her.

"Hey, I'm sorry," I said, attempting to apologize. She looked away and didn't say anything.

"Rosemary?" I tried again, poking her in the side. She huffed and still didn't look at me.

"Hey, kid, this is for our own good," I said. "I honestly don't want to be branded by the First Order, but I'm getting paid, I'm alive, and my hu-well, it's just what has to happen."

She looked at me and sighed.

"I thought you were gonna be like-like the resistance spy or part of them or something," she said sheepishly. I looked at her, feeling shocked. I could have laughed, but I didn't.

"Me? Part of the Resistance?" I asked.

"Yah, I thought you were the good guy. But with that mark on your shoulder, you support mass genocide."

"Listen, Rosemary," I began, trying to sound stern; I was getting frustrated. She looked at me with surprise. "I'm not the good guy; I will never be the good guy. I've killed people. I hunt people down as part of my job. And I saved you from death, so don't forget that your life belongs to me now."

She looked down and I immediately regretted my words. I think I saw a trace of a tear on her face.

"Rosemary, I'm sorry, I didn't mean for it to come out like that." I said. I was about to say more, but Zors ran inside the ship again.

"Hey. Jetta, Kylo Ren wants to see you," he said. I rolled my eyes and stood up. I handed Rosemary my old helmet and said, "Here I want you to have this." I turned around a left her alone.

When I walked over to Zors, I stopped him. "Take care of the kid; don't let her leave."

"Alright," he said.

"And another thing, if I tell you to leave, leave. Understood?"

"But why?"

"Don't ask questions," I said. "Just listen to me."

"Okay."

I left Zors standing there, looking confused. I entered the lift and assumed that Kylo was in the bridge. When I arrived, he wasn't.

I walked around and looked for someone who wouldn't faint on me this time.

"Excuse me," I said to a young women who had the body build of an entire star destroyer.

"Yes?" She said, not looking up.

"Where is Kylo Ren? He asked to see me."

She shrugged. Then I heard a familiar voice.

"We've received word that the droid has been found; Kylo has taken a squadron to Takodana," it said. I turned around and General Hux was standing behind me. "Impressive armor."

"Thank you, but what droid?" I asked, walking with him.

"The small BB unit," he said.

"Why didn't you tell me that you were looking for the droid?" I asked. "I found it on Jakku, but left it there."

"You found the droid?" He asked. "Then why didn't go bring it with you?"

"I was looking for Dameron, but he was dead. I found the droid with a young woman named Rey."
